I already own a Bobby Urban original and use it for EDC in NYC. I was a Kickstarter purchaser of this backpack and like many other US customers, my pack arrived squashed. Mine also had white unremovable streaks that looked like stomped in plaster dust. I straightened it as best I could and painted it with several diluted coats of Angelus Leather Paint. The result was lumpy but the color was good. I have been using the damaged one around NYC to carry my desk and lenses and have gotten compliments especially after demonstrating the features. The only downside is that the fidlock phone case us too small for my smartphones. The solar panel works well. I have not tried the wireless charging. I hope that XD will make a larger phone holder. My replacement just arrived through Amazon, hence the review.The company promised replacements in 3-5 weeks and made good!It is feature packed. My next international trip is next month. I intend to use it as my personal item. This is on JetBlue. I have not yet measured it as a personal item for Ryanair.

The usb c port does not work for this bag. I bought two of it and both of them do not work. Everything else is great except this small feature. Very disappointed

It’s exactly what I was looking for. I went to the zoo and the backpack kept my battery charged up. I dont use the wireless charger, but it’s nice to have I suppose.

It may be good backpack after some improvements. Not good as day pack for more than one day.

This cost me $400, and I have not been able to get it to work. I have tried multiple power banks. One power bank, the backpack sucked all the juice out of it. I bought it when the pandemic hit as a “bug out bag” but I was hoping I could get it to work. It did charge a phone when I first got it. I live in Hawaii, so we have ample sunshine, but like I said, this bag does not seem to work like it is supposed to. The cords are complicated too and they don’t really send any directions. If I returned the bag now, I would have to eat $100, so I will keep it. I suppose it looks okay, but I really got it for the practical reasons of being able to charge devices off grid. I live in an apartment, here in Honolulu, and I have been trying to get it to work by putting it in the direct sunlight, but I couldnt get this thing to properly charge if I was sitting on the equator, which I basically am.
